Configure Splunk Web to open directly to an app

You can configure Splunk Web so that it bypasses Splunk Home and instead opens in a specific app of your choosing.

Set a default app by role

You can set a default app for all users with a specific role. For example, you could send all users with the "user" role to an app you created, and all admin users to the Monitoring Console.

At the top of the screen, use the Default app dropdown to select the new default app.

Click Save.
